Christoph Schlingensief's Realist Theater

This book is the first study of the prolific German filmmaker, performance artist and TV host Christoph Schlingensief (1960-2010) that identifies him as a practitioner of realism in the theatre and lays out how theatrical realism can offer an aesthetic frame sturdy enough to hold together his experiments across media and genres.
